Significantly under-weight products
I've completely stopped shopping there as some of their packed veggie and fruit offers are significantly and consistently below stated weight. As an example their 1kg value apples (from Poland) for £1 are something between 0.880 and 0.910kg for all bags I've bought for at least the last two months (probably seven or eight packs). For other products the differences are not as pronounced but still outside the legal limits (and the packs are never, ever above the printed weight), so probably a case for Tradings Standards. And when I asked about that I was told, bordering on rude, that "this is how we get them from the suppliers and there's nothing we can do". Well, I can do something... never go there again.
